That doesnt come up till 2015. However, expect about 600 mn pounds for a 10 year period from that one in line with the recent deals Nike closed with Barca and the French national team. I doubt they'd want to miss out on United as a flagship club wearing Nike.

The Singing section was put on hold because “The club has been asked for some further detailed analysis” by the police. "The club hopes to be in a position to make a further announcement at the start of next season."

Over 1,300 season ticket holders signed up to move to the proposed section including terrace songster Pete Boyle and Mani from the Stone Roses. That number was set to surpass the initial target set by the club. United successfully trialled the idea against Aston Villa in their recent Premier League game.

Albert- off topic . I live the story if mani going to a Stockport cashpoint only to discover 2 mil had been deposited he didn't know about. Money from the forthcoming tour. Stockport, money and still red :-)

I know Owen is yesterday's news, but perhaps you might humour me for a moment.

I've been wondering how I could test Fergie's claim that "Michael’s record of goals per game is exceptional" especially in light of Fred's stats, which were:
- Owen has failed to score on 38 of the 51 occasions he played for United.
- 5 of his 17 goals were scored after coming off the bench.

Can we calculate?
Owen's goal return as a percentage of United's goals scored while he is on the pitch?

Remeber as I pointed out in one of m ther comments that these are results for an accounting period that Football clubs have always struggled in with United under the PLC often having to take a loan because they were in the red and needed the money to pay expenses.

A football clubs accounts are top loaded, they get their season ticket sales, seasons sponsor payments and previous years prize money at the start of a season not to mention any income from player sales. So while we should see a decent amount come in from player sales as the clubs got a lot better at selling players even if we don't there should be a hefty jump in cash reserves
